What shall I say, how should I weep...
All I want to do is to snooze off to a life long sleep...
A sleep that'll patch all the shattered pieces of my mind...
A sleep that'll mend all the ruptured pieces of my heart...
I didn't want to be this person who'd judge you by your doings...
See you in the eye and find someone else's reflection...
We've had our differences; we've had our gaps...
But we made it work and we've finally arrived...
You looked in to my eyes
I couldn’t control myself
I just had to smile
The feelings were there
Inside my heart
I wanted to walk with you
I couldn’t bear to part
But something stopped me
I tripped over a stone
I looked up
And found myself ALONE .
I maybe heartbroken...
But I ain't sad.
On the fast track to get my life back.
Why does love come to me like pain?
Why does love come to me like strain?
All my life love seemed to me a gain...
All my life I ran to catch this train...
All I got was a stormy rain...
All that I never wanted was this sweet sensitive pain!!!
Still I enjoy this pain
To be alive for this pain
Carry me softly,
Carry me fast.
Take me home to night at last.
Into the unknown, dark and deep.
Away from promises I didn’t keep.
Come silently,
Come while am awake.
Show me my friend your naked face.
Before you take me to a place unknown,
As I leave the shores of a place called home.
And I have lived.
I have lived it through.
To my old eyes now,
The world aint new.
I know these faces, I know these eyes,
And I can tell tears from fake smiles.
I’m old school now, I know how it’s done.
I knew I missed the starting gun.
Its been too hard, its been a while,
Still, Head high, I walk my last mile
Lots of times I kind of guffaw at all this goal setting stuff. People ask, "What are your goals?" and it seems like whoever can list the most goals wins. All they are doing is telling all the things they want but they may never get there. What people really need to ask is, "What will you do to make sure you reach your goals?" Having these goals will help motivate you to do something.
Anyway, let me tell you what this goal business is all about. It's actually pretty neat. There are three main steps to getting to where you want to go.
First, there’s the dream.
We do this all the time. However, sit down and write it out. By writing it you will get a better idea of where you really want to go. Think about how you would like to be. Imagine yourself at the end of the quarter or the end of the year or maybe in five years. What do you see? How do people see you? What are you doing? Are you successful? How do you know?
Each of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves, to get away,
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
a place where we go to think things through,
to be alone, to be ourselves.
This unique place, where we confront our deepest feelings,
Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes,
all our needs, all our dreams, And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are
and what we want to be.
But now and then, whether by chance or design,
Someone discovers a way into that place we thought was ours alone.
And we allow that person to see,
to feel and to share all the reason,
all the uncertainty and all the emotion we've stored up there.
There are times when man seems to be guided by the stars. Nevertheless, there are other times that seem to lead him through pain and misfortune. Is this a punishment? Is this destiny? Or is this what we commonly call luck? Spiritual science says that man has an inner force of an active inner will in himself and for himself. In other words, man has a creative interaction, which he forms and gets affected by. An example is “self esteem”. He appreciates himself and that appreciation affects what he thinks about himself. The force of his thought allows, in a certain way that he can condition the events so that his own life can be conducted in the expression of cause and effect. Therefore, there is neither such destiny, nor such luck. This clearly indicates that there is a proposal of life that becomes our own feelings and thoughts. As we think and as we feel, we recreate the next moment to live.
Being a Capricorn, I’ve never had much fun with decisions. Astrologically-inclined friends and family have never been amiss to point this out to me. But as I’ve matured, I’ve found big, life-crunching decisions usually unravel themselves before me more easily than simple, stupid ones, such as choosing cheese or butter on that Pav Bhaji.
Now, I’m faced with multiple decisions based upon the self-assembling blueprint of my life, which has always seemed tumultuous but now seems torn anew between different places and different energy forces.
I came to Bangalore to reclaim myself, not to find myself, as many have done. I was found before and simply got off track, and I needed a place away from loved ones, in a place where the sun sets instead of rising over the ocean, to prevent myself from further derailment. And I have made excellent headway in doing so. For the first time in a very long period of self-absence I finally feel like myself again. I’m truly happy here among friends new and old, mountains and hills, rain and sunshine. Why, then, do I even consider leaving such happiness?
Imagine...
A soothing cool breeze...
bright but pleasant crescent moon light...
riding on this marvelous flying carpet...
to a far far away palace,
over the glittering waters of the winding river ..
mesmerizing fragrance of exotic flowers..
Sitting comfortably next to world's lovely princess..
holding hands, saying those sweet nothings..
smiling and giggling together...
eating and singing merrily..
joking and teasing...
dreaming and imagining coming future!
Right now I imagine a quite common night and morning after.
It’s no action-movie, just something that will come true someday:
One night when I don’t have sleep once again, I sit in my room - wow, actually the whole colorful house is mine! There’s actually no music playing, but in my imagination I can hear someone belting out tunes.
She is the tenderness personified,
She is the patience personalized..
She makes the world bright making your heart enthrall,
She makes everything insight being a pal..
She is the Creator and the Survivor,
She is the Weaver and the Savior,
She does feel a quiver and needs a pamper..
She guides you and moulds you,
She eases you as well teases you,
She is your “MOTHER” she loves you…
Its 7:30am and I stand here at the bus stop waiting for the office bus to arrive. I stand here at the same spot as I did a few years back waiting for my college bus. Little did I know then that things would change so much in 1 year; the tree under which I was standing seemed to be looking at me and smiling, perhaps the only living thing that stands as a testimony there, watching the transformation of a loud and bubbly person into a quiet professional. I wouldn't blame the professionalism for the change though.
Life is dream.
We live it while we see the sun, taking life and dreams as one. And living has taught me this that man dreams the life that is his, until his living is done.
The king dreams he is king, and he lives in the deceit of a king, commanding and governing; all the praise he receives is written in wind, and leaves a little dust on the way
When your destination is miles apart,
When you don't know where to start,
When all you see around is pain,
When your hard work is in vain,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE !!!
I learnt a few things in my life that they happen for a reason.
Nobody takes your crap as much as your parents do! Do have respect for yourself
You are perfect coz' GOD.. makes no mistakes
Box self-pity aside.... .don't chase happiness ,it'll elude u.
Love is a life long process(n not around d trees); marry someone who loves you more than you love that person
It's better to take things with a pinch of salt
Change is permanent.....
While the fate permit, live happily; life speeds on with hurried step, and with winged days the wheel of the headlong year is turned.
We are all destined to become someone somewhere but end up as someone else somewhere else. Life is nothing but an interplay of destiny and fate in a real environment of opportunities and impediments. Thanks to the accumulated karma from our foregone lives and the spill over of extra-ordinary karma from those of our parents, all of us are born with pre-determined destinies in each life. But only a miniscule number among us live up to these ‘blueprints of life’ in toto, while most others deviate from it due to reasons known and unknown.
Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her. But once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game
A scene in "The Matrix" goes like this...."
Morpheus:Do you believe in fate, Neo?
If one masters the knowledge of time and space we would know our fate or destiny.Its a pure science, not physics but metaphysics....Changing themm to our positives is another art...
Though a person's fortune may be largely determined from birth, one can always change it by altering his circumstances. Sincere effort and hard work can also change a person's fortune, both in terms of his material as well as his spiritual standing. The Psalmist alluded to this when he sang, "A Song of Ascents. Happy [are you,] every one who fears God and walks in His ways. You shall eat the fruit of your effort. Happy are you, and goodness [is reserved] for you" (Psalms 128:1-2). "Happy are you" -- in this world, and "goodness is reserved for you" -- in the World to Come
To put it briefly, it is not only enough to be born with a good destiny; to become a good man it is also necessary
Gone are the days
When the school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and benches .
Gone are the days
When we queued up in book depot,
And got our new books and notes.
Gone are the days
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
Gone are the days
We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and
Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then
Micro tips.
Gone are the days
We began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Colour pencils and finally sketch pens.
Gone are the days
We started calculating first with tables and then with
Clarke's tables and advanced to calculators and
computers.
Gone are the days
When we chased one another in the corridors in
Intervals, and returned to the classrooms
Drenched in sweat.
Gone are the days
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds.
Gone are the days
When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays.
Gone are the days
When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons.
Gone are the days
When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls.
Gone are the days
When few played "kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,
While others simply played "book cricket" in the
Confines of classroom.
Gone are the days
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy.
Gone are the days
When we used to watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks.
Gone are the days
When few rushed at 3:45 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus.
Gone are the days
While few others had "Big Fun", "vada pav",
"kulfi", "chana " and "pepsi !" at 4o Clock.
Gone are the days Of Sports Day,
and the annual School Day ,
And the one-month long preparations for them.
Gone are the days Of the stressful Quarterly,
Half Yearly and Annual Exams, And the most enjoyed
holidays after them.
Gone are the days
Of tenth and twelfth standards, when we
Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests.
Gone are the days
We learnt, we enjoyed, we played, we won, we lost,
We laughed, we cried, we fought, we thought.
Gone are the days
With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more.
Gone are the days when we used to talk for hours with our friends.
Now we don't have time to say a HI.
Gone are the days when we played games on the road.
Now we code on the road with laptop.
Gone are the days when we saw stars shining at night.
Now we see stars when our code doesn't work.
Gone are the days when we sat to chat with friends on grounds.
Now we chat in chat rooms.....
Gone are the days where we studied just to pass.
Now we study to save our job
Gone are the days where we had no money in our pockets and fun filled on our hearts
Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart
Gone are the days where we shouted on the road.
Now we dont shout even at home
Gone are the days where we got lectures from all.
Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and Ever .....
